Muslim Brotherhood sit-in protesters outside the Egyptian Ministry
of “Defense” in Cairo beaten up badly by plainsclothes “security agents.” As
usual, the military dictators claim it was just angry locals beating up the
victims in righteous outrage against the demonstration.

NPR pretended the military’s bullshit was true, or that it
was a Big Mystery who the assailants were. BBC pointed out the pattern of plainsclothes “security
agents” attacking protesters and the rulers claiming it was really outraged
local citizens doing the mauling.

The sit-in was a protest against the disqualification of the
Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate, on the grounds that his mother had a
U.S. passport.

How come we never hear about it? Why
aren't there constant reminders? The U.S. media and Government are so
intent on indicting the Iranian regime, you'd think they'd constantly
harp on it if it was true- or even if it wasn't true. So that seems
like a dead giveaway that it's bogus, especially since the U.S. is
bullying the rest of the world into joining it in tightening the
sanctions noose around Iran's throat. You'd expect them to be
shouting to the rafters about this outrageous outlaw behavior by
Iran- trying to assassinate an Ambassador! Can you imagine? Why,
that's like, oh, I don't know, the CIA arranging
assassinations of foreign heads of state! Or allowing a Chilean
secret police bomb maker (Michael Vernon Townley) to sneak into the
U.S. to help murder a former Chilean Ambassador (Orlando Letelier) in
Washington D.C.! (Along with his young associate Ronni Karpen
Moffitt- but that was “colllateral damage,” as they say.)

On second thought, maybe better that
the U.S. not make those comparisons.

And the reason the U.S. government and
media never mentions the FBI's Iranian “plot” anymore- not even
mentions it!!- certainly can't be because it raises by
implication the issue of Israeli assassinations of Iranian nuclear
scientists. The West, and especially the U.S., is absolutely
shameless in its hypocrisies and double standards. Can't see why that
would inhibit them. Plus it's not as if the Israeli assassinations
are a secret anymore. Besides, the U.S.just keeps saying “Moi?
Those assassinations have nothing to do with us,” as a
political shield from responsibility for anything its fair-haired
client Israel “might” be doing.

Just for the record, I have no sympathy
for the horrible, oppressive theocracy that hijacked the anti-Shah
revolution and imposed another totalitarian, anti-human regime. I'm
not a George Galloway type knee-jerk anti-American. Just because the
U.S. doesn't like somebodies doesn't make them good guys.

It's like the former Soviet-U.S.
rivalry. It wasn't a Good Guy vs. Bad Guy thing. It was like a
gangland war, two rival mobs feuding for control of turf. When the
Soviet Union collapsed like a rotten building, my slogan was “One
Evil Empire Down, One To Go.”

Now we can find another irony, one that
apparently addles the brains of some and prevents them from thinking
clearly. The assorted jihadists who the U.S. backed against the
Soviets and their Afghan clients

also saw both empires as enemies- first
they “beat” the Soviets (as if they could have done it without
U.S.-Paki-Saudi help, including an influx of foreign “fighters”)
and they next set their sights on the U.S. That goes to show that the
Enemy of my Enemy is NOT necessarily my Friend. The jihadists
are anti-humans, and I'm pro-human. The proper attitude in their tiff
with the West (and modernity) is to hope that the assholes on both
sides bleed each other a lot. Maybe someday both will be weakened
enough to create an opening for human forces to seize power, there
and here. (Unfortunately part of what is being bled is our money-
through taxes. Can't help that. But we can make sure it's not our
blood, by not joining the U.S. military and raising our children to
understand the Imperialist nature of that military and how to uses
people as disposable cannon-fodder, and most importantly how
“patriotism” is a con job.)

Yet simple-minded lefties with their
Manichean, black-and-white world view think anyone the U.S. is
fighting must be righteous. They're still griping about how N ATO
“bombed Libya” (i.e. stopped a Qaddafi bloodbath and enabled the
Libyans to overthrow him- and notice he needed foreign mercenaries on
his side) as an example of Western Imperialism, lumped in with the
invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. Just last week a jackass leftist
with a radio show referred to the Taliban as “the Afghan
resistance.” Oh really? Those primitive fanatics who are still
throwing acid in the faces of schoolgirls to stop them from being
educated? What exactly are they “resisting,” basic humanity?

Take off your ideological blinders and
look at reality, bub. It is more complicated than your simple-minded
ideology, but it's not all that hard to understand.
